Gus Bilirakis said this last night , “
In today’s briefing with the IRS, I was told that the IRS portal is currently being refined and that by Tuesday the updated portal should fix the “payment status not available” and the “cannot verify eligibility” error messages that many people are receiving. In order to facilitate these improvements, the system will be down from 10 pm - 1 am tonight through Sunday. Those who have yet to receive payment can check daily to see if their information has updated in the system.
Each day, the IRS is distributing millions of checks and it is continuing to work on the data transfer with Social Security Administration and the VA. It is still hoping to have as many checks as possible distributed by FRIDAY, THE 24TH.
Additionally, the state said it is still working on the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance website for independent contractors, sole proprietors and those whose hours have been reduced but are still working. As soon as the link becomes available I will share it.
I know many people are hurting and I will continue fighting on behalf of all my constituents.”
These issues do not apply to us.
